Miami.- <\/strong>The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said this Saturday before a dozen Latin American leaders that he has no intention of learning Spanish: “I am not going to learn your damn language,” he said with laughter.<\/p>\n\n\nThe Republican leader made these statements during a summit in Miami with right-wing presidents from the region, including Argentina’s Javier Milei and El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele.\n\nDuring his speech, Trump emphasized that his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, of Cuban origin, has a “linguistic advantage” over him, given that he speaks Spanish.\n\n\u201cI am not going to learn your damn language. I don’t have time. I have no problem with languages, but I am not going to dedicate so much time to learning yours,\u201d he declared with laughter.\n\nThe Republican said he prefers to have “a good interpreter” and then told an anecdote about a conversation with a foreign leader, whose identity he did not reveal, in which an interpreter did not translate well. According to him, he realized the error despite not understanding the language.\n\n\n

Summit only with right-wing leaders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nTrump convened leaders of the Latin American right in a summit at a golf club in Florida to which the progressive leaders of Mexico, Brazil or Colombia were not invited.\n\nThe summit attendees are the presidents of Argentina, Javier Milei; Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz; Costa Rica, Rodrigo Chavez; Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader; Ecuador, Daniel Noboa; El Salvador, Nayib Bukele; Guyana, Irfaan Ali; Honduras, Nasry \u2018Tito\u2019 Asfura; Panama, Jos\u00e9 Ra\u00fal Mulino; Paraguay, Santiago Pe\u00f1a, and Trinidad and Tobago, Kamla Persad-Bissessar.\n\n\n
